I have never been able to wrap my head around why so many are afraid of stalls in the Lancairs.
If they are as bad as many believe, then something needs to be done to the airframe to fix the problem.
. . . like stall strips . . . which don't affect performance . . .
If there is no problem . . . then people need to learn how to fly them and quit being a wuus about stalls.

Bill,
 
Talk to Jeff. I would agree with your stall ideas in just about any airplanes other than Lancairs. They are different...very different from other airplane types and very different among samples of the same Lancair type. Neither of my Lancairs, the 320 or the IV, give any warning at all before a stall. No buffett, no burble...nothing. If you do a full stall in a IV plan for a break that will be hard and abrupt. Have you actually stalled your Lancair?
 
Please speak to Jeff privately. He has investigated far too many Lancair accidents to pass on his good advice.
